A Long December

Howdy, folks!  The COA met for a delicious brunch and the annual watching of Love Actually today.   Time to recap November and talk about goals for the last month of the year.

November goals:

1.  Health/fitness:  Go to yoga 4 times.  Finish two races (Wilderness Run and GOTR 5k) and complete at least two 'long' runs (defined as 5+ miles).  

Success!  Four yoga classes, two races, and 3 'long' runs completed in November.

2.  Financial:  Change savings allocation split among 401k/savings account to increase liquid savings in preparation for Christmas purchases and hopeful near future car purchase.  

Done!

3.  Work:  Have a tidy transition to the new job.  This means cleaning up old e-mails and the shared drive, sorting through old project files, leaving instructions/details on projects where necessary, wrapping up any loose ends, and reducing my cubicle stuff down to one box.  

Well, I reduced it down to two boxes.  I was pretty happy with that considering how much I purged.  

4.  Other: Write at least 20 out of 30 days this month.  

This was a fail if I judge it only by the numbers.  I did write seven times in November, though, which is better than a typical month.

December goals:

1.  Health/fitness: Get my money's worth out of my unlimited monthly yoga class (go at least 5 times in December); complete Operation Jack half marathon; weigh in at the end of December at a number somewhere below my initial weigh-in for the weight loss challenge at work.

2.  Other:   Take bags o' stuff to Goodwill before end of year.  Complete Reverb prompts.
